[Microecologic characteristic of intestine microbiocenosis of frequently ill children]
Aim:
Study microecologic features of intestine microbiocenosis of frequently ill children.
Materials And Methods:
Composition of intestine microbiocenosis of 86 children aged 3 - 7 years living in the city of Karaganda (Kazakhstan) by bacteriological method. A number of microecologic coefficients was calculated: species saturation index, consistency index, relative occurrence coefficient, modified Sanders dominance index, chi2 criteria, Jaccard similarity coefficient.
Results:
The constants members of the biocenosis were Escherichia coli with high enzymatic activity, enterococci, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Additional species were opportunistic bacteria and fungi of the Candida genus. A tendency to collective existence between members of the normal microflora (E. coli, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) and opportunistic bacteria and Candida genus fungi was detected.
Conclusion:
A change of characteristics of intermicrobial interactions in intestine microbiocenosis with a formation of pathologic connections between members of normal and opportunistic microflora and Candida genus fungi was noted.
